REJUVENATION

Mr Lewis carries out fractional laser treatments, which stimulate skin rejuvenation and help to give a youthful complexion by addressing wrinkles, acne scars and unwanted skin pigmentation.

Fractional lasers deliver laser light that is split into tiny fractions or dots, a bit like pixels on a computer screen.

The energy from a carefully controlled laser can be used to stimulate the deeper layers of skin to rejuvenate and renew. The fibroblasts in the dermal layer of the skin are encouraged to divide and produce more collagen, revitalising from the inside.

If you have this fractional laser type of treatment, you will experience some redness and swelling for a few days after each treatment, and some mild skin peeling. This means that you don’t have to have as much time off work after a treatment compared to more traditional laser facial rejuvenation procedures. However, deeper more extensive scarring will require more treatment sessions and require more recovery time afterwards.

A treatment schedule will be specifically tailored to your needs. Typically, this requires between one and three sessions spaced four weeks apart. The full extent of the improvements can take several months but you should then notice your skin looks generally healthier, smoother, and fuller, as well improving any scarring.
